PBEAMS, AND THEIR MEANING. 



introduction: 

Dreams have a meaning ! Can you disbelieve it? 

If soj reject this book— I beg you not receive it; 

But as for me, I'm superstitious still, 

And know that dreams a part in nature fill. 

Shadows they are — and substance soon will follow 5 

Who say they don't believe it — 'tis all pretence, and hollow. 

"Dream land is a play-ground of tke soul— 

Wierd region vast, like unto death profound. 

Yet some can read its wondrous scroll, 

Some, travel o'er its magic ground. 

'Tis possible for Trying Man, 

Poor weakling though perchance he be, 

The great Dream-Mystery to scan, 

And all its deeper secrets see. 

The active soul, the mind — the man, 

No bar can stay — no fetters chain. 

And he the Dream-king's realm, and plan, 

And future joys and coming pain. 

May see and know — and being seen, 

Tell others what a dream may mean. 



•DREAMS, AND THEIR MEANTXG. 

Dreams are not idle phantasies, — 
Mere creatures of the passing hour ; 
But ministers of Fate's decrees — 
The sceptre of a mighty power- 
King Dream ! — "v^ho pictures forth at night 
Fore-things, which after days shall see ; 
Strange things which afterward shall he 
Things which the wise alone can see !" 
Thus spoke Artefius full two hundred years ago, 
A learned man was he— whom only scholars know. 
His knowledge gave he unto me^ in volumes rich and rare ; 
His " Treatises on Dreams." His " Signs seen in the Air.'' 
His " Code Interpretation's," and " Touchstone of the Dream" 
His " Flowers of the critic Art." His " Artefius' shining beam." 
And yet three hundred "Hermist Books," ^Idmano's "Magic 

Art." 
Protylus' " Book of Dreams ;" Ritenyer's " Dreamer's Part" — 
Deep treatises ; I give to thee ; they'll amuse an idle hour, 
Perchance they may convince thee that Dream's a regul power, 
A Providence, a Fate— a shadow of the yet-to-be ; 
Portending happiness, or pain, black woe, or bright felicity. 

Again, as knowledge bound^ I wandered, 
O'er hoary Egypt's storied land ; 

And- Syria's arid plains and hills; and Turkey's hostile strand; 
Arabian deserts ; Nubia, and far Negro Dongola, 
And other lands, where other lore, and costumes strange have 

ways 5 



• DREAMS, AND THEIR MEANING. 

I gathered all of Dream their wisest sages knew; 

And here present, adapted, kind reader unto you. 

Five weary years have passed smce this work was began 

Concerning dreams and dreaming. I now present the plan, 

By which may be interpreted the meaning of each dream: 

The secret is the shape and hue of what therein may seem. 

Thousands there be who dream at night 

What they would know in morning light } 

Fot §u(?b^:tsd p^ly such, I write. 



THE KEY. 



Directions. — Run your eye along the alphabetical lists 
till you come to the name or synonym of the thing, word, object, 
topic, subject looked for. In seeking, always select the thing or ob- 
ject that impressed itself most forcibly upon your memory. Turn 
to it then, and you will find such a solution as cannot fail to amuse, 
surprise, and, perhaps, instruct you also. 

Remember, look for the most prominent thing ONLY in searching for 
your dream'' s solution, 

Nearly the whole of this book can be^ used as a FoRTUNfi- 
Teller, for yourself or any one else, by simply opening it at ran- 
dom, ahd letting the finger or a pointer fall at random on any line. 
If it fails to apply the first time, repeat until an answer is given, 
but do not repeat a success more than twice the same day. I have 
a ** Symph" or Prediction Chart especially for such use. Its price 
is $1.00, and can only be had by addressing P. B. Randolph, 

Boston, Mass.
